Sean Carroll (professor of physics, quoted in the article) has a highly-rated book titled "Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime" [1] which discusses exactly these topics. I haven't read it, but it's on my list.

I also highly recommend his podcast "Mindscape" where he discusses this and a range of other topics in science and philosophy. [2]
